Extended Data Fig. 8. Composition, organization and entropy of the CHM13 D8Z2 α-satellite HOR array.

Extended Data Fig. 8

a, HOR composition and organization of the chromosome 8 α-satellite array as determined via StringDecomposer42. The predominant HOR subtypes (4-, 7-, 8- and 11-monomer HORs) are shown, whereas those occurring less than 15 times are not (see Methods for absolute quantification). The entropy of the D8Z2 HOR array is plotted in the bottom panel and reveals that the hypomethylated and CENP-A-enriched regions have the highest consistent entropy in the entire array. b, Organization of α-satellite monomers within each HOR. The initial monomer of the 4- and 7-monomer HORs is a hybrid of the A and E monomers, with the first 87 bp the A monomer and the subsequent 84 bp the E monomer. c, Abundance of the predominant HOR types within the D8Z2 HOR array as determined via StringDecomposer42.
